a little birdie told me ....

Today I came across this cute little guy from one of my favourite sellers on Etsy.

And I do maintain this is a "little guy" by his facial expression. A mixture of a little miffed, a little confused, a little bothered. Perhaps he is miffed and bothered because he is confused . . . or perhaps he is confused because he is miffed and bothered.

It reminds me of the young birds in our backyard right now that are learning the ups and downs of spreading their wings while trying to steer clear of the cats.

I've seen the same expression when a squirrel is sitting in the bird feeder and the birds can't get at the seeds.

You can find "Mr. Miffey" and his handmade friends created by Seapinks on Etsy.
